This invention relates to improvements in wagon seats and theobject of the invention is to provide an improved seat adapted to lit on the top of the ybox` when the wagon is loaded vand which is reversible when the wagon is empty to permit the drivers feet to rest on the bottom of the box.'

. y' l/Vith these and other objects more fully re ferred vto in view the invention consists in the novel combination, construction and ar-V rangement of parts as hereinafter described and illustrated by they laccompanying drawings. A Y

4Referring' now to the drawings in which like charactersvof reference indicate Correspondingparts in each figure' I Figure 1 is a perspective view of the seat on thebox with dotted lines showingy the body or box'of the wagon,y

1 Figure 2 is an end'view .of the seat in re-v versed position. Y

Referring now more particularly to the drawingsin whichv a preferred example of my invention is disclosed, A designates the Wagon boX and B the seat as awhole comprising a seating portion with a guardrail 11` on three sides of the upper sid-e. At each end of the seating portion .10 are rigidly secured *suitably bent spring strips 12 and 13 connected by cross bars 14 at their loose ends and having thereon pivotally mounted clips 15 and 16 adapted to engage with the top of the sides 17 and 18 of the boXA;

Then the box is empty and it isdesired to v permit the occupier of the seat to rest his/feet on the `bottom of the box the clips or clamping members 15 and 16v on each side are disengaged from the side of the boX and the seat swung to reverse position into the box when the disengaged clips' will again be available to engage with the sides of the'boX (see Figure 2) with the seat in revers'eor upside down y position within'the box.

This arrangement of the seat Vwill be particularly valuable for farmers haulingtheir their feet by swinging the seat within the box Y and resting their feet on the bottom.

The seat can be readily turned by means of the pivoted clamping or clipmembers 15 and 16 from normal position above the boX to reverse position within the boX.

As many changes could be made in the above construction and lmany apparently widely different embodiments fof myl invention, within the scope of the claim construered, Without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. r

What l claim as my invention is: n

, A wagon seat comprising a seating portion7 downwardly depending spring stripsY attached at ythe ends of said seating portion, cross bars connectingA the ends of the spring to the spring st rips and the cross bars at their point of Joining, said 'clamping members Y strips7 clamping members pivotal'ly attached being adapted to support the seat in normal position and in reversed suspendedfposition respectively as and for the purpose specified. ln Witness whereof I have ,hereunto set my hand. f
